I need the advice of you veterans. We are fairly new horse owners... we currently have 3 on our 60+acres.
My dd 12 years old - has been offered this colt for free. HIs history is this - Mare arrived at barn - the owners didn't know she was with foal. She delivered in pasture in April (almost 2 years ago) in pouring rain. He almost died - was hand fed by bottle and is healthy. Nothing is known about stallion. He is about 14.3 now. Mare is nice quarter horse.
Nobody at the barn has any time to spend with him.
My dd wants to bring him home and work with him. Am I crazy to consider this... she is responsible and takes excellent care of her horse. He is very gentle - can put halter on him, pick up his feet, run hands all over him. that's all I know. Here are some pictures...
LOL - He needs to leave his mom
One last one - not the best pictures - it was very foggy today...
One one hand I think it would be a great project for her - we have plenty of room and she has the desire. On the other hand I think I'm crazy to consider taking this on - I don't want her to get hurt or for the colt to be ruined because we don't know what we are doing!! Thanks in advance fo your input!
